Send a voice note

A voice note is a recording you send in a chat. It is different from dictation, which types your words into the box. See Use the message box. It is also different from a call. See Talk to an employee by voice.

Record one

1. In an employee chat, choose the record button next to the message box.
2. Speak. The box shows a red dot, the time and a live waveform.
3. Choose Send. Or choose Cancel to throw it away.

Limits

• A very short note, under a second, is refused.
• A note sends by itself at 5 minutes.
• The button is off during a call, because recording would hang the call up.
• It does not appear in a Space conversation.

If it doesn't work

• "No words came through in that recording." Try again a little closer to the mic.
• "That recording is empty or too long." Record a shorter clip.
• "The recording couldn't be turned into text just now." Try again in a moment.
• If a send fails, the note is kept. Choose Try again. It is delivered once.
• If voice is not set up, see Set up voice.
• If the mic does nothing, check your device's microphone permission.
